After processing the latest NOAA data, I stated that the rate of methane growth is increasing. The news is even worse. "Well-meaning policies aimed at reducing atmospheric sulfur appear to be having the unintended consequence of lifting this sulfur 'lid' on wetland methane production."

Another view of global sea surface temperatures, this one showing the streak since March, 2023 of SST's breaking the pre-2023 record (with the exception of 5 days in late December, 2024). Idea: @leonsimons.bsky.social Data: www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! Global sea-ice extent is now at an all-time record low in recorded history, with global sea-ice extent now 2.14 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average. Images of the current Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice extent are in the following posts in this thread.

Keep an eye on this one. All cats are beautiful, but they're also virus incubators, and this CDC report found that two humans gave it to their cats, and one human may have contracted it from a kitty. This is a NYT gift article, no paywall.

It's not enough that they're pushing fossil fuel production in the US to all-new highs -- the regime also has to destroy any attempt to research or take action on climate change. Reckless, short-sighted foolishness.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!!

Arctic sea-ice extent fell again yesterday and is now over 400,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low for Feb. 2. The heat is on!

Breaking News! Code Yikes! January, 2025, finished as the hottest January on record since 1940 and likely the hottest January in the last 120,000 years, at 1.745°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.

Saturday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data) • about 640,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,280,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,850,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,290,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Temperatures in parts of the Arctic are forecast to be up to 28°C (50°F) above average in early February. This could get interesting. www.karstenhaustein.com/reanalysis/g...

We missed a milestone. On January 15th, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temerpature anomaly reached 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 baseline. Goodbye Paris, we hardly knew ye.

Breaking news! November, 2024, came in at the second warmest in recorded history, at 1.62°C above the pre-industrial baseline. Starting in June, 2023, there have now been 18 consecutive months above the pre-2023 record high, likely the hottest string of 18 months in the last 120,000+ years.

A vicious feedback worsening climate change is the propensity of disruption to lead to authoritarian “strongmen” leaders. grist.org/politics/aut...

Still above 1.6°C in 2024. On track for long-term warming breaking 1.5°C in 2027.
